Insurance Certificate Request and Tracking Form for Performing Arts Venues

Performing Arts, Spectator Sports, and Related Industries · NAICS 711 · Insurance Certificate Request and Tracking Form

This Insurance Certificate Request and Tracking Form is specifically designed for performing arts venues, theaters, concert halls, and event spaces. When you host productions, rentals, or special events, you need to verify that all outside parties—such as producers, touring companies, vendors, and contractors—carry adequate insurance. This form streamlines the process of requesting certificates of insurance (COIs), tracking their receipt, and confirming that your venue is named as an additional insured where required. By using this tool, you reduce risk, avoid last-minute cancellations, and keep your venue protected.

Frequently asked questions

What is an additional insured endorsement?

An additional insured endorsement adds your venue as an insured party under the other party's liability policy, providing coverage for claims arising out of their operations. This form includes a checkbox to request that endorsement when required.

How far in advance should I request a certificate?

We recommend requesting certificates at least 14-30 days before the event to allow time for review and follow-up. The form includes a field to set your preferred deadline.

What if a party fails to provide a valid certificate?

Your venue may choose to cancel the event or deny access until proof of insurance is provided. This form includes language to communicate that consequence clearly.
